So, the Phillies actually pulled it together to make Game 6 of the 2009 World Series necessary! Whoopdi-doo! Let’s be real here, it’s been a pretty exciting post-season up to this point, and it’s nice to see the modern day New York Yankees having trouble with a team that isn’t the Red Sox. May the best team win!
Yeah, right. The fans for these teams are out for blood. If you’re a Phillies fan in New York, you’re wearing your team cap proudly, accepting any ridicule that may come your way and swiftly responding with the first dirty-ass Philadelphian rebuttal that comes into your uncombed head. It’ll probably include cheesesteak, because that’s just about all your state has going for it these days. At least you’re good at grilling burgers, Philly. And now, for a picture of Jimmy Rollins taking a baseball to the nose. (special thanks to the lovely Shannon Blow and Jane Blow)
Allow me to put this on the table – I’m a Yankees fan (“Ohhh my god, no wayyyy!”). However, this does not mean I hate the Mets, despise the Red Sox, or think that A-Rod was right when he was taking steroids. Hell, he’s playing better baseball now than when he was a ‘roid head. This being said, every one of you Yankee fans need to stop using the word ‘dynasty’ in regards to your favorite baseball team. You’re doin’ it wrong. Dictionary meaning in 3… 2…
dynasty |ˈdīnəstē|
noun ( pl. -ties) : a line of hereditary rulers of a country
I understand the fact that the Yankees hold the world record of 26 World Series Championships, way ahead of any other MLB team (done screaming “RINGS BRO, RINGS!” yet?), but this can’t even be loosely described as a dynasty. Aside from having no hereditary relation to one another, the only thing they “rule” is a diamond shaped dirt field with grass around it. They’re just really good at baseball. As a matter of fact, the only time I want to hear you say ‘dynasty’ is when you’re discussing the Ming dynasty, Tang dynasty or any other actual dynasty that has had a major effect on civilization. Hey A-Rod, nice face.
Here’s to hoping that Game 6 is a good one. Whether the Yankees take the World Series now, or the Phillies put up a fight to bring the viewers a Game 7; it’s going to be a fun show either way. In the meantime, keep the stereotypes coming, fans. It just gives me more to write about.

The whole thing is rigged to go to a 7th game. This is a buisness and each team probally makes $50 million a game. A team will throw a game to stretch this for all it’s worth. I think the whole thing is rigged. These are professionals, they can put the ball where they want it and they can hit the ball where they want it. That’s why I don’t watch baseball. Xbox is better.
Agreed.
Philly isn’t a state. Your info states your a gamer nerd. How were you allowed to report on a subject you clearly do not understand. Are you the least-nerdy person contributing to this site? If so, I feel sorry for the rest of ‘em
Guys..Dan and Porknbomb are on to something. If you know what the illuminati is, read dan’s definition of dynasty, and read Porknbombs comment about it being rigged…It all adds up….theres always an answer…just think outside the box
@jh, I’m allowed to report on any subject I desire. I’ve also been watching baseball my whole life. Even played it for a while, there. I’m glad you think that geography has something to do with the understanding of the sport.
I clearly referred to the state that Philly is in. “Your state.” You did know that every city exists within a state, right? Enlighten me: what else is Pennsylvania good for?
To answer Dan’s question: purchasing guns an bringing them into NY.
..and fireworks, fine.
don’t forget all the open space for burying dead hookers…I mean um I have never done that
Pittsburgh > Philly
We just let them have baseball success to placate them.
